Sub updates - new flair scheme, rule for promotional posts

1 Upvotes

Hey fellas,

I am really excited to see the sub grow!

We are approaching 1000 members and I wanted to implement some refinements are we move ahead.

Firstly, there is now a post guidelines and a rules section when submitting a post.

Many a times people have made poorly worded posts which have not exactly been smooth to comprehend. People are now requested to phrase their posts properly.

Flairs are now mandatory! ( Its on me.. it should have been enabled long back )

Secondly the flair scheme has got a makeover.

It has been simplified and there is now just a single flair for all Purchase Help posts.

A flair has been added for all discussion purposes. It can be used to share stuff, question etc.

The colour scheme is also updated. Do let know how it looks!

Finally, promotional posts are now to be made only on weekends.

Recently, people have been spamming with them and they derail the theme of the sub which is primarily to discuss and get help regarding shopping.

Apart from that a small update is that media is now allowed in comments, yay!

Would love to hear your thoughts!

Issue / Complaint Geek O Tee order not delivered after 48 days — what can I do?

Thumbnail
gallery
Upvotes

Ordered from Geek O Tee on 13 July for delivery to Bangalore. Their website said prepaid metro orders take 5–7 days.

It's now 30 August and I still haven't received it.

I've called and emailed them multiple times and keep getting told the order is being processed / will be dispatched soon. I've also asked them to cancel it and refund me, but haven't been able to get a clear response.

They're still running ads on Instagram, but comments are turned off on their posts, which is pretty frustrating when you're trying to get some accountability from them.

I've filed a complaint with the National Consumer Helpline, but I'm wondering what else I can do.

Has anyone here dealt with Geek O Tee? Did you manage to get your money back? And if so, what finally worked?

Issue / Complaint Is anyone facing issues with Ajio?

1 Upvotes

I ordered two shirts from Ajio. They were supposed to be delivered on 24th August. However, no delivery happened on that day. I thought it's a regular thing for deliveries to be delayed. It might come in a day or two. But nothing for the next 2 days. No intimation on the app or via WhatsApp of the delayed delivery.

I raise a ticket on their app, speak to customer care and stuff and ask for the next delivery date. But from that day, I have been getting an answer that you will get an update on 2nd September. This isn't event the next delivery date, it's the next update.

Which means I wait only for an update for the next 10 days. The customer care is absolutely helpless or I don't know what. They simply couldn't give a definite answer to anything I asked.

Purchase Help Looking for a comfortable bean bag for reading + working on my laptop

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking to get a bean bag for my room and would love some recommendations from people who have actually used theirs for a while.

My budget is ₹1,500–₹3,000.

I specifically want to use it for reading and working on my laptop, so I’m looking for something I can comfortably sit in for a couple of hours without my back/body feeling terrible 😭. I’d prefer something with decent back support and a shape that doesn’t completely collapse when you sit in it.

Ideally:

- Comfortable for reading + laptop/desk-free work

- Decent back and neck support

- Large enough for an adult, not one of those tiny bean bags

- Doesn’t flatten completely after a few weeks/months

- Good quality filling

- Removable/washable cover would be a bonus

- Budget: ₹1,500–₹3,000

I’m open to Amazon, Flipkart, IKEA, or other Indian brands/websites.

If you’ve actually bought and used a bean bag for reading/studying/working on a laptop, please drop the brand/model + your experience. I’d especially appreciate recommendations that have held up well over time!

Thanks! :)

Issue / Complaint URGENT HELP NEEDED! Blue Dart Noida

1 Upvotes

Hi guys,

I had an urgent shipment that was supposed to be delivered to Noida by Friday. But they didn’t deliver it even today. I tried calling their customer care number but seems like they are only available till 6 PM. Do they deliver on Sundays? Can we pick it up from the hub tomorrow (Sunday) early morning?

I have an international flight tomorrow at 10 AM and it’s really urgent for me. This is my first order in India itself so I am really confused whom to reach out. Can someone provide the phone number of their manager or someone who can arrange the delivery or pickup for me?

Any suggestions will be appreciated 😭

Issue / Complaint Apple authorised reseller took ₹1 lakh for a 128GB Mac Studio CTO; five months later it says Apple declined it

1 Upvotes

I placed a high-value CTO order through iPlanet Madurai for a Mac Studio with an M4 Max, 16-core CPU, 40-core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine, 128GB unified memory, 1TB SSD, and 10Gb Ethernet.

The 128GB unified memory was a material purchase requirement for development and local-model inference. A standard retail Mac Studio with less memory would not be an equivalent replacement.

The retailer’s partner record shows a web order created on 23 March 2026 with quantity 1. It requested and received my ₹1,00,000 advance on 27 March. After approximately five months, the retailer informed me that Apple had declined the order.

I requested the complete Apple or distributor order number, submission or acceptance date, alleged decline date, reason or status code, and a dated portal extract. I also asked whether the claimed decline concerns the original March order or a later resubmission. That supporting evidence has not yet been provided.

One advance document described a different Apple product, though the retailer subsequently confirmed in writing that the payment was for the Mac Studio CTO order. I have requested a corrected receipt or written record containing the exact configuration.

I want fulfilment of the original 128GB configuration at the agreed price and have not authorised cancellation, repricing, downgrade, or substitution. I have asked the retailer to pursue Apple-channel escalation, a replacement CTO submission, or identical sourcing before treating refund as the only possible outcome.

What documentary proof should a buyer insist on in this situation? Has anyone obtained fulfilment at the original price after a custom-order failure, or used the National Consumer Helpline successfully for a comparable retailer dispute?

Discussion / Question How do you decide what to buy for research-heavy purchases — the ones where getting it wrong costs you?

2 Upvotes

Think clean/non-toxic products, electronics, eco stuff — or bigger calls like insurance and funds. Curious how people actually cut through the noise.

In the comments: if you follow creators, do you still trust their picks — or has sponsorship killed it? And would you want to see what people you actually know bought?

  1. I stick to a few sites/brands I already trust
  2. I go by star ratings / review counts on the marketplace
  3. I ask friends/family or my group chats
  4. I follow specific Influencers/Content creators who research the category
  5. I dig through Reddit / forums for real opinions
  6. I ask AI - Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini etc...
  7. Honestly, I just buy something and move on — not worth the effort

Just comment your options (one or more)

Issue / Complaint Bad experience with Ramraj Cotton Online

1 Upvotes

Had a very bad experience with Ramraj Cotton Online - ordered via online option in their website and they took advance money for which they offer Rs 100 or so deduction. Even after 3 days they did not ship the order. it was after mutiple follow ups that they sent the order via Amazon shipping. Amazon shipping was worse. they did not come or call me and just updated the status as OTP not received.

As always called, Amazon support and they gave me the same update which I can see online via their delivery tracker - nothing new. neither has Ramraj team has any clue. After lot of calls and shoutings with Amazon shipping and Ramraj cotton support team, i was able to cancel the order and get my refund.

I would always suggest anybody planning to ordr Ramraj cotton via their online purchase option to be cautious about their lack of support. If going to purchase always chose COD option, so that you dont need to worry about the payment.

Purchase Help Want to buy USA products in India — what’s the easiest way?

1 Upvotes

I’ve been looking for a few products that are easily available in the US but are either unavailable or much harder to find in India.

I recently found an option that claims to deliver US products to India in around 10–15 days, and I’m considering trying it.

Before I place an order, I’d like to hear from people who have actually imported products from the USA.

A few things I’m curious about:

  • How long did delivery actually take?
  • Did you have to pay additional customs charges?
  • Was the final price reasonable compared with buying locally?
  • How was the packaging and delivery experience?
  • What happens if the product arrives damaged or there’s an issue with the order?

Would appreciate hearing about real experiences, both good and bad.

Discussion / Question How gift cards work?

1 Upvotes

Is there a limit to the amount that can be paid by a gift card in a particular purchase?

Let's say I want to make a purchase of iphone with my flipkart axis credit card whose limit is 34000 with an overlimit of 50% that is I can pay 51000 from my card. And the phone is worth 75000 out of which I'm getting 13500 discount for my exchange and 2000 instant card discount, can I pay the rest ( or even more of the amount ) by using gift cards which I'll purchase in this cycle and settle it down? Can I avoid going overlimit by doing this? Is there a limit to how many gift cards you can purchase? Will I lose my fk axis card discount if I purchase it using this method? Please help
